Pakistanis are Crazy … Like a Fox

What do people in Pakistan know that the rest of the world doesn’t? Every Pakistani man, woman and child is a paranoid nutcase, according to the picture painted by a recent New York Times article:

According to many Pakistanis, the C.I.A. used a mysterious technology to cause the devastating floods that affected 20 million people in 2010. Washington had the teenage champion for girls’ education, Malala Yousafzai, shot as part of a campaign to demonize the Pakistani Taliban and win public support for American drone strikes against them. The terrorists who strike Pakistani targets are non-Muslim “foreign agents.” Osama bin Laden was an American operative.

However, in an article-ending twist, the Times matter-of-factly notes that conspiracy theories in Pakistan “persist because many turn out to be true.”

if you scan through the extant histories of that area
you’ll find that it has been a hot of bed of trouble for thousands of years
and as the Times matter-of-factly notes
conspiracy theories in Pakistan “persist because many turn out to be true.”

But Osama bin Laden WAS an american operative! During the Cold War! And articles like these serve only to dehumanize people that are being attacked and killed. Makes people in merrica feeling less guilty about the carnage. Like they did in many other wars before!

If Pakistan is “crazy” it should come as no surprise. Pakistan is the center of the ongoing Great Game, relentlessly abused and dominated by the batshit insanity of post-colonial warfare. When someone is abused repeatedly over decades (centuries), they come out disturbed, desperate for the comfort of paranoia. The paranoia and gossip gives structure to the irrational drone attacks, Western-induced civil wars, and the persistent neglect of their fundamental needs. The chaos of their reality was created specifically to keep the country unstable, thus providing foreign powers an excuse to intervene and control. Münchausen Syndrome by Proxy writ large.
